In this History video, teachers receive clear guidance on supporting children as they explore the development, culture and beliefs of ancient Egypt from the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt to the Roman invasion.

This unit overview video outlines how life along the River Nile shaped society and how annual flooding supported farming and influenced ideas about creation and the power of the pharaohs. Teachers are guided through approaches for investigating mummification, examining artefacts such as the Rosetta Stone and considering how beliefs about the afterlife shaped daily life.

As part of Kapow Primary’s ancient Egypt series, this resource addresses common misconceptions and provides strategies to help the children ask questions, interpret sources and build a secure historical understanding throughout the unit.
